Hashing supports the _____ part of the Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability model.
Answer
Integrity
Explanation
### Why this is right
The course links hashing to integrity because hashes can help reveal whether data has changed.
### The concept
Integrity concerns protecting data from unauthorized alteration and detecting changes. Confidentiality concerns restricting access to information, while availability concerns access when authorized users need it. Encryption primarily supports confidentiality; hashing helps with integrity.
### Terms
- **Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability (CIA)**: three broad security goals for information and systems.
### Remember
Hashes help check integrity, not concealment or uptime.
